we also work closely on collection requirements as well as on analysis and developing analytical tools. i cannot even discuss all the interaction there is. we have been trying to significantly improve the cooperation and communication. i think we have made a lot of progress. >> thank you. you said the drug cartels activity having keeping you up sometimes at night. what are we doing for the intelligence standpoint to apprehend and make sure we are not seeing these drug cartels continue to move across our border? >> as we have seen the drug

and both analytical and empirical to make that evaluation, the most significant of which has an analysis done in conjunction with heart of the environmental impact report that found her there would be no adverse traffic impact. there were a number of the empirical studies, a month-long closure, the farmer's market which not only helped to validate the analytical analysis of the traffic impact, but supported the notion that there was significant positive impact for the public for the increased open space that disclosure would create that was certainly more than offset any impact from traffic. i guess in summary, we recommend approval of this. it is an essential part of the master plan process. by approving this ordinance, you would be affecting the determination that i have made with regard to the street vacation, ordering the vacation of the street that would be conditioned on the library securing of site building permits. it would not take place until the building is ready to get built. it would reserve rights for them to access to their facilities and transfer the property on vacation.

he is a fair, measured, and analytical person. i believe he is eminently qualified to serve on the police commission and i urge you to support his candidacy. i thank you for your time. supervisor kim: thank you. reverend? >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is james mcrae and in the former pastor for mr. julius turman. mr. turman is highly educated, eminently qualified, graciously equipped for service to our city at this time. his competence and his willingness to serve give me continuing cause to rejoice as a san franciscan. we have the type of city where randy brightest and the best -- wherein the brightest and the best rise to serve the common good. please, give your recommendation to mr. turman and grant our beloved city up police commissioner who will labor with all of his strength to let righteousness will down like water and justice like a never- ending stream. supervisor kim: thank you, reverend. >> thank you. i am here to support julius turman's candidacy. i of known him for over 10 years, the first five of which, w

>>day: what we were really aiming for is to take advantage of our analytics to recognize the patterns in traffic, what happens when things go wrong and apply that to what's happening in real time so that we can predict 30 to 45 minutes out what traffic is going to look like. >>reporter: ibm is partnering on a personalized predictive modeling tool where users sign up and share data about their journeys collected by their smart phones. >>day: once you opt in, the idea is that you install a small application on a smart phone and you create an id on our web based system once you turn on the application it starts to learn your routes, >>reporter: by blending this automated learning with predictive analytics the tool can spot trouble ahead on specific routes and create a text or email alert to warn the commuter before they set out. >>the project is still in its research and testing phases and ibm isn't working alone. they've joined forces with california's department of transportation which provides data from thousands of traffic monitoring sensors. meanwhile, at the university of californi

we're not talking about the analytic capacity to bring intelligence from the rest of the country back into washington, d.c. the third aspect of how we are empowering people is the launch of a new national terrorism advisory system, which we just recently did in april. ntas is the replacement for the old color code system. say goodbye to orange. [laughter] we are not using that system anymore. it did not give people information. it did not give businesses or the private sector information. he did not give state or local law enforcement information. if you walked into an airport, airports have been at all level or range, i think, since the year 2006. so rather than have a color code system that no one paid attention to, except maybe jay leno or david letterman, instead of that, to have a system where we presume that the base level of risk to our country now incorporates ongoing risk. our base level is higher than it was wired to 9/11. we assume that in our base level. then if there is specific or credible information about a threat, that base level can be elevated or in certain circumst

it can be computing, deep analyt analytics, any of the above.f you go all the way back to the very beginnings of the ibm country, we're talking 1911 we were about that. we did time clocks. fast forward to the time data became a huge challenge was after the great depression. we developed the machines that did all of the counting and all of the account for, for instance, the rollout of social security. what would you do with 30 million people you had to keep track some of it's physically impossible without these machines that could sort the data. the ams of data are tens of millions of times more complex. if you have more data tens of millions of times you need to be able to work with it tens of millions of times more quickly or it's useless. we came up with the disk drive. the monster there, the large platter was part of the original disk drive. in the mid-1950s when we invented it, the unit that held five mega bits of data held ten tons. today's laptops if we did no further work would weigh about 250,000 tons, two cruise ships. we developed the

we want it to be a successful, strategic, analytical, and structurally-sound program that will make a difference to people. that is what we are doing. we are very excited. supervisor cohen: before we go, a question for you. commissioner maufas: thank you, ms. ford. i understand you have the implementation committee. are you working with the transitional-age youth? this was a task force. i think it has melted back into dcyf. are you working with them? >> we are working with them. commissioner maufas: you will have to come to the podium and state your name for the record. >> jacob moody, executive director, bayview hunters point foundation. as part of the 8010 group, i have a liaison with that group. it is separate from the steering committee, but we have a conversation going on. commissioner maufas: thank you. that is what i was looking for. that is good to know. thank you. >> good afternoon. supervisor cohen: you have to move the microphone closer to your mouth or speak up. thank you. >> i am kind of excited right now. i am a resident of district 10. i also happen to be a youth member

it's part video game and analytical tool. it has tremendous potential to change the kind of technology we have at the border. everything from the low-tech chain link fence to the sensors they put in the ground to detect somebody walking on foot. >> reporter: the goal is to promote collaboration among teams to see problems from different perspectives. >> it's kind of like a football game. they are attempting to get to the goal line and they make decisions about when to hide and when to flee and run back. >> you can see how helicopters interact and how border agents interact and how officers actually at the entry. they are working at the scene how best protect the border. >> they were able to develop this in nine months and for under one million dollars. the video component were adapted from previous research done at sandyia. they can analyze their work and shape what kind of technology is needed. >> i don't think we're ever going to get to a point where we have a completely sealed border but we can maximize our ability. >> rep

place we see this as an incremental step that helps us guide that path and that enables the city's analytical machinery to understand what those true rally all our questions together at one time after we hear from the controller. >> very good, thank you. president o'brien: thank you. welcome. >> do you need to call the next item? president o'brien: no, i think we called it already. >> commissioners, thanks for having me here tobblets. it's a pleasure to be here and to follow up on supervisor mirkarimi's presentation to you. let me just first say that i think what supervisor mirkarimi and i are both doing is to try to advance the ball here in terms of this discussion. i don't believe our legislation is mutually exclusive. it takes a bit of a different angle. to give a bit of a different background from my perspective on my impetus to talk about this legislation, it arrived in connection with the mid market tenderloin debate, which was ultimately deemed the twitter debate here in san francisco and in staal. the one thing that came out of that, -- and in city hall. i know the report supervisor m

if we stick with the analytical tools or lack of tools then the only conclusion is price controls and i think economic evidence throughout history shows what happens there. so i think we have got work to do. so really analyze this. any plan, but ours aside for a moment, any plan to address the crisis must address health care programs and help inflation and measuring any of these plants against what is a fiscal fantasy and unsustainable trajectory is not an accurate measurement of comparison because it's comparing some plan against the future we now know can't continue. and so, i think we just all have to do more work to try to figure out how to really truly address these issues. >> i want to get into the budget only to say we got your analysis of the president's budget i won't go back into that, but the president gave a speech april 13th where he outlined a new budget framework that claims for trillion deficit reduction over 12 years, have you estimated the budget impact of this framework? >> no mr. chairman. we don't estimate speeches. we need more specificity than was provided in th

i can see a sound engineer doing an a-priori analytical study, that might be good enough if both parties could agree on a sound engineer. but i will testify after working with them for over a year trying to forge a compromise, i doubt that they're going to agree on a sound engineer. the only other thing would be to have some kind of a trial period which of course might inflict consecutive noise on the -- excessive noise on the neighborhood as they're all predicting. but i believe this is the key issue that needs to be addressed and somehow we've got to come to a solution. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm serena bardel. long-time member and board member of golden gate valley neighborhood association. i would like to tell you that in all the years over 20 that i've served, there has never been a problem brought to us by any of the other tenants including margaritaville and bay side at that location. and these -- some of these same people have lived across the street or down the street from this location. so they have not been whiners or complainers in what -- but also in all

whatever they number they agree to it will explain the numbers between the analytics. >> how are your metrics different from the occ's? >> i don't know. i haven't had a chance, i really haven't seen. apparently occ is done independent analysis that i have not seen and i would welcome looking at it. i think perhaps he is looking at historical numbers but historically i think there is probably a case the financial system is not have sufficient capital and this is why we continue to have these cycles of, very severe one recently. also if you are looking at at risk-weighted assets unfortunately for all the subjectivity and capital levels based on how a bank is -- is assets so i don't know if the analytical and their penning is for his views and i would be happy to take a look at them. >> and i'm not asking about the health of european banks but in terms of international competitiveness, isn't it important that we are harmonized globally with these capital requirement level so we are not disadvantaged? >> i think it is important we have international agreement. i think capital, strong capi

they want analytical skills, math and engineering talent, they want you to be able to take what you know about something you studied in liberal arts school and apply social media skills to that. you have to develop all of these skills, you know, look at the job listings, notice, practically all of them involve some kind of technology, whether it's cloud computing, social media and that doesn't mean you have to be a programmer or something like that. it means you have to apply these things to many different disciplines that maybe don't have anything to do with technology. >> i call it liberal smarts. if you're a liberal art, figure out how to put your arts smartly into a science and technology field. >> you have to keep learning. skills get outdated faster than ever mainly because of technology. >> you said -- >> keep going. >> demean yourself. please, what generation, kid coming out of school wants to demean themselves. >> recent grads over the last few years, no surprise, lot work in jobs that don't require a college degree, retail jobs, cashiers, clerks, waiters, things like that. you

our kids today are having an exposure to a learning environment that will give them the critical analyticalcommunication skills that they will need to be employable in the future and enjoy a world of life long income opportunity. >> governor wise, it's so interesting. there's a recent study by charles schwab. teens expect their average starting salary at $73,000. if you dropout of school you won't get that. there's this disconnect of convincing kids they need an education, they need to stay in school and the realities of what they mean. >> total disconnect. what we've learned, we've learned this. the best economic stimulus package for both the student and country is a diploma. one class of dropouts, if we cut it in half in this country will mean over $7.5 billion in additional income. those kids will spend more. create 54,000 additional jobs and pay almost three quarters of a billion in new state taxes, so once again -- >> they won't cost society. when you dropout, the statistics are terrible for what you will earn. crimes committed. ending up in prison. >> one class of dropouts will cost t

mark zandi is the chief economist at moody's analytics. he joins me now with his thoughts. mark, thank you for being with us here. just your first blush response to the job numbers out on friday. they were of course much weaker than anticipated. >> yeah, they were, bill. they were disappointing. there is no other way to characterize it. very small job gain, increase in unemployment. really nothing redeeming in the report. >> what has to happen now? we're coming to a crossroads at this point where the fed's quantitative easing program is about to end. there is debate in congress about the debt ceiling, about cutting spending. all of these things are coming at a time when it is pretty clear that the economy is starting to soften here. what do you think will have to happen here? >> well, i think the most important thing is for policymakers to provide certainty. and the key debate now is the debt ceiling limit. the congress, the administration have to come together, and they have to agree to raise the debt ceiling. now i'm hopeful that in that process they will lay out a path f

that's what we would like to happen but there's absolutely nothing wrong with from a strategic analytical point of view asking the questions who are the forces at play what is the structure of syrian society can can it survive a fall of this of this brutal dictatorship that's been in power for years without sectarian bloodbath i think anybody who does not ask these questions is unfortunately planting their head in the sand if these are questions that have to be asked by any responsible observer and i think that's a very important point to make ok mr ambassador i mean we hear there's a i think that he brought up a very good point about democracy and we heard also the term liberal democracy mr bastow can we have arab democracy and islamic democracy why should it be liberal why can't it be the version that works for their societies. well people have actually experimented with different regions and values and so on and that's why i agree with the dean when he says you know these values of liberal. democrat is asian they're not related to the west only this is a humanity now sort of heritage a

i will say analytically, it has been interesting to me the extent to which at&t has promised some of the merger on the broadband plan, which i find interesting. i do think you represent the people recognize the goals of the plan were called. at the end of the day, that is about -- they make an argument to the sec, but the merger, the question of whether or not the merger goes through as will be fundamentally decided at the department of justice. they are going to be looking less at those issues, what is the impact on universal service and on the issue of competition. the real question is competition. the doj has competent people. host: on the competition side, looking at its on its face, does it strike you as ok for competition? guest: are you asking me the same question? host: in a different way? guest: if i stated, i might have an answer. i have a lot of respect for antitrust lawyers. they are the neurosurgeons of that part of the practice. they're smart. they know a lot of stuff, but i do not. i will decline to answer. guest: let's approach this from another angle. at&t said this

allegations was raised by united states and i approved of their investigation taking samples and analytical process that all these allegations were basis in fact before coming to vienna i was in charge of escorting all the spectre's and i was with them in this politicize it which would prove that this allegation had no basis is every unfortunately after eight years they are repeating these boring stories one thing is clear we do not have any program for nuclear weapons we are fully cooperating with the as they said country see the most robust inspection in the history of why for five thousand man these patients have found no evidence of diversion of nuclear material to prohibited purposes and the statement claimed by lady ashton with due respect i categorically reject. as one of the highest teen suicide rates in the world russia has now been jolted into action to try to reverse the worrying trend but experts say it's not that simple because there are several causes that can lead to tragedy if left i've noticed as i think there's unavoidable reports no compassion is a cure but sadly it's a r

we would be happy to provide some of that analytical support. supervisor mirkarimi: actually, i do not agree with the comment that supervisor carmen chu made that we do not know what caused neutrality is. in the absence of not having our own definition of cost neutrality, that gives us a see- saw of us trying to figure out what is at the heart of the debate here. because we do not really have the premise. by us not being able to study, i think, the design of this program in comparison to other jurisdictions, that leaves us a little bit feeble and trying to figure out what we could have done to make it better while they have gone through the same or similar experiences. >> i do think the charter is a fairly clear on the definition of what we need to report in terms of cost neutrality. the implementation drop of implementation shall not result in any net increase costs -- the implementation of the drop shall not result in any net increase cost to the city. it defines a cost increase of only .25% of payroll as not an increase. it does not create a

allegations was raised by united states and i approved after an investigation taking samples and analytical process that all these allegations have basis in fact before coming to the end i was in charge of escorting all the spectre's and i was with them in this politicized that it was proved that this allegation had no basis this is a really unfortunate after eight years they are repeating these boring stories one thing is clear that we do not have any program for nuclear weapons we are fully cooperating with the as i said the country suggested the most robust inspection in the history of why for five thousand mandy's patients have found no evidence of diversion of nuclear material to prohibited purposes and the statement or claim by the lady ashton with due respect i categorically reject. and you can see the full interview with iran's envoy to the international atomic energy agency in less than fifteen minutes time here on r.t. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world a hacker group claims to have knocked the central intelligence agency's public website off line a

allegations was raised by united states and i approved of that investigation taking samples and analytical process that all these allegations are baseless in fact before coming to the u.n. i was in charge of escorting all these specters and i was with them in this military size that it was would prove that these allegations had no basis this is unfortunate after eight years they are repeating these boring stories one thing is clear we do not have any program for nuclear event we are fully cooperating with. the most robust inspection in the history of the world five thousand mandy's have found no evidence of divergence of nuclear material to prove we did purposes and the statement or claim by the lady with due respect i categorically reject. russia has one of the highest teen suicide rates in the world x. that's however say a solution isn't easy to find as the causes are complex countries are kind of. touched by a teenage tragedy. just days before final exams the t.v. crew was reporting and students gearing up for the adult lives that lee had of them the teachers pointed to paulina there br

as far as the analytical skills are concerned i think this is the weakest element because there is so much done at the isi particular the upper echelons and now that officers who go into the isi are looking for the next promotion. people are not coming in with a great deal of experience or an hour was this experience. they are straightforward soldiers, they see themselves as soldiers and want to go back to school during periods of the lower ranks they tend to stay on longer. the majors perhaps and they may stay on because of age or service requirements and there now is an intelligence corps in pakistan so there's a career path in them for different intelligence operations inside the military and pakistan not necessarily the isi analysts, but they are so far down the totem pole that they are quite often meaningless and ignored by the military superior. >> can i just add to that when he was talking about the desire relatively recent to give the puerto pr presence and one of the most interesting days i had in pakistan was today's take into the headquarters and given very flaxseed briefin

what is the say about their analytic capabilities?re there officers that hone their craft and analytic skills? if not, is our discussion to improve analytic capabilities? >> i think i did refer to this in my opening remarks. there is a strong perception in pakistan, in the military in particular, that there is some kind of an overarching plan. as to which side talks about this is unclear. i run across this point of view that there is a master plan and is often based on what people read on the internet. the most often quoted source for this, whether the isi and the military, is a ralph peters and his famous map. they look at the events surrounding the analysis and say she must've been briefed by ex wires the. as i said, -- x, y, or z. as a set, it must be seen if it can be replicated in other countries. i think this is the weakest element. there is some much at the isi. particularly now that officers to go into the isi are looking for the next promotion and that people and not coming in there with a great deal of intelligence experienc

truth about how the contamination was allowed to continue despite the warnings given to them by analytical laboratories. my 13 year journey has taken me and violence down many paths and to traveling discoveries related to these issues. some has been the department of the navy and marine corps documents that reveal but the leadership had knowledge that cover tap water was contaminated for nearly five years before they take any action. -- to locate the sources or stop them from flowing. another disturbing revelation has been the discovery of the navy and marine corps regulations. some kobach to 1963 that require a protected standard of care. had these regulations been followed, most of this tragedy would be diverted. there has been a lack of honesty in transparency demonstrated by the department of navy and marine corps relating to this issue. a problem that continues this very day and reaches the highest levels of leadership. the documents we have uncovered indicated there have been many outright lies disseminated by these two organizations and their leaders, whose statements to the press i

i will say analytically, it's been interesting to me the extent which at&t has premised some of the merger on the broadband plan which i find interesting. i do think it remits that -- represents that people recognize the goals of the plan were good goals. but i would also say at the end of the day, they're making an argument to the fcc, but the merger -- i think your viewers understand this -- the question of whether or not that merger goes through will be fundamentally decided at the department of justice, and they're going to look less at those issues, about, you know, what's the impact on universal service and buildout, and more on competition, and that's the way it should be. the doj has competent people. they'll figure it out. >> host: on its face, just looking at it on its face, does it strike you as okay for competition? >> guest: you're asking me the same question -- >> host: in this a different way, you're right. >> guest: i'm going to avoid it again. if i studied it, i might have an answer. i have a lot of respect for antitrust economists and lawyers. they're kind of like the neu

dod also develop a common analytical framework and organizational structure to better ensure consistent application of the criteria, and dod involved the service audit agencies to help try to ensure data reliability so that there was an accurate set of data in which to look at. this concludes my prepared remarks, mr. chairman. i would be happy to answer any questions that you are other members may have. >> thanks very, very much. sitting here listening to your testimony, there's a bible study group that meets in the capital most thursdays when we're in session with our senate chaplain, very black. and he talks to us about how our faith guides us into work, talk to us about moral imperatives, and sometimes he shares with us matthew 25. not many people know what matthew 25 is, but maybe your family with the term, one of our obligations is as human beings to people who are hungry or thirsty or naked or sick and in prison, and so, the question i want to ask is about moral imperative. for one i think most of us view the least of these among us. they don't feel an obligation to reach out and

with training we can become more analytical.lytical capabilities and not and we have to learn to integrate them. >> one of the things that gets lost in arguments are facts. those are the first things to go because once it's calculates past the original argument, it's no longer about what you started arguing about. >> i think a lot of arguments aren't about what you're arguing about. they're really struggles for dominance or for understanding or emotional connection or fairness. and the issue is just the pretext. it devolves down to the things you haven't handled between each other. >> how would you suggest that couples stay on topic when it comes down to a fair argument? >> i think it's really important to understand how the brain works and why it is that we don't stay on topic which is that the brain is built so that when we get in an argument, we just use the first piece of information that comes to mind and we often want to show that we're right. we want to feel good about ourselves. we need to compensate for that. we have to

. >> charlie: if you like a movie do you like to go back with your analytical brain >> to see it again>> charlie: sure. >> i'm sure if it's what you do to go to see a movie and you're a filmmaker you can't help but be aware of the process but at the same time the greatest movies you get lost in which the idea of 3-d can beoolis beside the points. the great movies suck you in f more than 3 does. it's a story. >> charlie: what's the common denominator of everything you do, story telling? >> i can tell you what it should be and what i'm determined to do is it's got to be something they desparately love and i would truly want to se myself. there e times when you work on something and you think t audience will love this and you are doomed. like if you think you kn -- it's never going to work and if it does which it could i guess was a hollow victory because it wasn't what you love it was a guess. >> charlie: okay. lost is what you wanted to do? >> lost is the very begin and when you mention lost as you did earlier that run was six years by them and i was off doing mission impossible and sta

the reason why there's uncertainty is there's fundamental disagreement on the analytics of qe2, how qe2 operates. some people feel it operates through a stock effect. some people think it operates through a flow effect. the fundamental issue is we don't know, plus there's no historical precedent. so while the market knows that qe2 is going to end, the market is less clear as to what the consequences of that. in fact, you have people taking very extreme positions because they disagree on the analysis, not on the fact it's going to end, but how do you analyze it. >> pimco is one of those entities taking an extreme position, and a lot of people have taken the other side. you think this is going to be difficult, it's going to be bad for u.s. treasuries. are you still sticking by that? what is your forecast? what happens once qe2 ends to interest rates? >> maggie, we look at it very simply. we are involved in the different treasury options. we look around to who else is buying. and when a big buyer -- and the fed has been buying about three-quarters of what the treasury has been issued. when

so, i think 10% actually is moderate by all the analytics we've looked at. i would also add this will go out for comment whatever the number this will go for comment and explain the analytics and people will have the chance to provide public comment. >> how are your metrics different? >> well i don't know. i haven't had a chance. i really haven't seen -- if they've done independent analysis i haven't seen it but i would welcome looking at perhaps he's looking at historical numbers both historic week there is probably a case this financial system has not had sufficient capital which is why we continue to have these cycles recently. also if you're looking at the risk assets unfortunately it is a lot of subjectivity in the base of the assets. i don't know the review is i think he would be happy to take a look at them. >> i'm not asking about the help of the european banks the international competitiveness isn't it important we are harmonized globally with the capitol requirement levels so we are not disadvantaged? >> i think strong capital is a competitive stre

we worked closely on collection requirements as well as on analysis and developing analytic tools. i can even discuss all the levels we have been trying to significantly improve the cooperation and communication on. i think we have made a lot of progress. >> thank you. the drug cartel activities are keeping you up at night sometimes. what level -- what we doing from an intelligence standpoint to apprehend and make sure we are not seeing these drug cartels continue to move across our border? >> as we have seen the drug cartel threat and violence evolve particularly in mexico but also elsewhere as well, i have seen a higher level of emphasis placed on the intelligence community and i would say very candidly that they have been very responsive to our requests for information and support. it is a strain. we have wars going on in iraq and afghanistan and the intelligence community is stretched very thin but this is very close to home and impact our communities tremendously so we're doing everything we can possible from a law enforcement perspective to bring the cartel members to justice
